One thing to say...

After seeing new Eldar tanks, a new Eldar titan, new Eldar Aspect Unit, Dark Eldar Warriors, Dark Eldar Skiffs, Dark Eldar Archons, Dark Eldar Wyches, I have only one response:



"Mine?"

Because Matt Varnish is a Whiny Bitch

Storm Guardians. 20 of 'em.

They're not even completely done. A few extra little touches, but this is basically how they look.





Matt V loves to needle me about posting pics, so... here ya go MV. In all their Scaly Green glory.

Dark Eldar Reaver = Crone World Eldar jetbike!

Since this isn't a news site, I won't bother posting the rest of the pics, unless you live under a rock, you've probably all seen the AMAZING new pics out of Gamesday UK. One thing that pisses me off about GW: So much awesome stuff never before seen is at the UK Gamesday, and in North America we got what? A few marine things. Apart from the DE unveil, there are also some very juicy tidbits for my Crone World Eldar:



The Hornets I don't know what I can make them into, but I tell you what: that Lynx, if it isn't too gigantic, will sure make for a BADASS fire prism.

30 days until Los Deimos Tournament.. what do I take??

Man, its only 30 days away, and there is no way my Eldar are going to be done. Lately I've been running a different list for my Pre Heresy Night Lords, that relies on sternguard. I could run my Squats. Or I could run my Nids. Choices.

OH, also, for kicks: here is Bat Rep 55, with the Night Lords vs Ca$h's Slaaensh Chaos

Choices

So, having started to paint a few orks, and ordering a ton of bits, I find my self at a stalemate. Reading through the Ork Codex, all I can say is that I am less than thrilled at what appears to be my options for an "effective" list. So many of the newer books allow troops to do so much more. I know Orks are really the "comic relief" of 40k, but I would also like to play something that gives me many tactical options on top of the modeling ones.

This brought my thoughts to the soon to be released Dark Eldar codex. This army has always intrigued me, as I tend to have a fondness for playing "bad guys" . Reading up on some of the rumors, it's looking like the DE will excel at fast, guerrilla style attacks (duh!) but also may shine in a heavy melee approach, with poison and such. It is making me really question the logic behind investing heavily into an army with an old codex (Orks) that have no rewrite in the near future(read 1-2yrs). Keep in mind I already play Chaos Marines (and love them!) and their codex is becoming less and less tenable with each new codex release. This isn't leading me to move away from Chaos, as it is fast becoming my go to army for painting, playing, and converting models.

So what to do now. I have a small, nominal investment in Orks, meaning the contents of 2 AoBR boxes, plus bits and plasticard. No real loss there. Dark Eldar are getting a whole new line and new book offering a very different play style to power armor just like orks. So what is a man with a serious case of uncertainty to do? I'm really open to ideas and feedback as to which direction to take - something in me REALLY REALLY can't wait to buy a brand new codex and BattleForce and just have at it!

Please, can someone give me some solid reasons NOT to leave orks until they get revamped and just do Dark Eldar?

-CA$H out.

school is cool

not really,

So I've been pretty busy the last few days with the start of school and I don't foresee myself able to devote more than maybe 2 hours at a time to painthammering in the near future.

Trying not to lose motivation though, and trying to think of a good, realistic goal to set to make some more progress on my deathwing.

I was thinking of something along the lines of priming my AOBR squad and doing the first wash of graveyard earth or something along those lines.

I will try to do the above in the next few days. I probably won't bother posting pics though as once-washed terminators aren't anything special.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to convert a Belial model?

Matt's Night Lords VS Joyous' Blood Angels

Interesting battle between a vanilla marine mech list and an all assault troop list. First time for both Matt Varnish and Joyous Oblivion with these lists/tactics. Check it out:
